Probably more so cheaper to mold the plastic case with weak threads than any other function.

Machinist guy here!

Threads fail. Threads are generally the most likely thing to fail in any given mechanism. Generally, when the threads are expected to do more work than just sit there and not move, as in fastening a hinge for example, we try to make sure the threads are all the same kind of material.

I would never expect plastic threads to hold up to repeated use with an iron bolt inside. Something is going to give up, and it’s going to be the soft plastic threads, every single time.

Think about cheap as fuck IKEA furniture, any time they have a bolt to screw in, you install an insert first. We do the same thing in plastic, aluminum, shit even steel sometimes if we want the bolt to fail first.

This was a different person. They’d taken a username of someone popular in a number of communities on Reddit and were purporting to be that person.

There was, back when I was active there. Around the time I migrated to Lemmy there was some drama and I believe that user was suspended. I don’t check it frequently enough anymore to know if there’s a current Picard maneuver surrogate.

I didn’t make it very far in to the game, I’d held on to my game pass subscription just waiting for it to come out, and cancelled my game pass after a few hours in Starfield. I made it to like the first big city a few small settlements after that, and everything felt so fucking lifeless. NPCs just didn’t seem to belong in the space they inhabited. Oblivion and Skyrim NPCs really seemed like they owned the space they inhabited. Fallout 4 even once you got your settlements going really felt like they were home. The constant loading screens just made everything feel like it’s own little universe, apart from the rest of the game. I did have fun raiding some base around the moon, one of the few times I had fun exploring. One of the few times I had fun, honestly.

Seven dollars to loading screen to your ship, watch an animation of your character sitting down, loading screen to space, loading screen to the system it’s in, Dodge some pirates, loading screen to the surface, hop along the completely barren landscape to go to a copy pasted outpost, loading screen back to your ship?

I feel like you could get all of the value of that dlc by just playing a mission over again.

If you’ve been holding on to civ 5 it’s the best time to move over to 6 that there ever will be.

I have probably a cumulative 2000 hours between civilization 4, 5, and 6. I disliked each as they came out, I had played 3 briefly right before 4 was released. But after a few games in each they really grew on me, and moving back to the older versions just didn’t slap the same way.

I’m sure 7 will be different in enough ways that people will initially hate it, and still spend dozens of hours playing it.

I’ve never been more am enemy of AI than this moment.

And with that Huike was enlightened.

Different kinds of sugar are all sugar when they get to your gut. Anything beyond “the body treats this like sugar” is just a pissing contest.

When you juice something, you’re leaving 95% of the nutrients in the fruit, extracting the sugar water, and telling yourself you’re drinking healthy. That’s just not the case. The meat of the fruit is where that stuff is at. The fact that some of it makes it in to the juice is incidental. It would be better to drink a glass of water and eat the orange, than to juice the orange. Unless you then throw the juice away and just eat what’s left of the orange. That’s probably the best thing.

Sugar is sugar.

It really doesn’t matter if it’s naturally occurring or added after the fact. It’s sugar.

Debating what kinds of sugar are better for you is kind of like debating which landmine is better to step on.

Don’t get me wrong, the occasional sugary beverage is fine. But juice is never going to be good for you. Even arguably.

Yeah no added sugar. The juice generally contains enough sugar on it’s own. Fruit juice is about as nutritious as a soda. You’re taking the sweet part of the fruit and leaving behind the fiber and other nutrients.

If the restaurant has a kids menu, it also has milk.

Most juice has a lot of sugar. The ones that don’t don’t generally taste that good.

But bottle OJ tasting like shit is a real thing, they have to do so much to it to get it to last for more than a week on the shelf that all the flavor is sucked out of it.

And diet sugar

I’ve literally always done this with fallout 4. I think Skyrim too. Not because I thought it was improving anything mind you, it was taking so long that I would tab out to scroll some website while I waited.

I think this is using recomp, anybody with a rom could theoretically do this on their own pc, so there’s morning to destroy. The recomp isn’t specific to Nintendo and isn’t really violating copyright, as far as I understand.

Yup that’s worse… Somehow that’s worse.

I am very worried about these rules
